tracker7Mom's first cataract surgery went well. She saw her optometrist yesterday morning, and her eye is healing quickly. Procedure is repeated on the other eye next week, and she'll be back in the game.
I'm getting further and further away from Christmas, or at least modern American Capitalismas. All I want is time with my family. Now, Mom is having trouble understanding this, Dad a little less so, so I'm choosing my battles here. We'll give gifts (Mom already gave me mine, saying "Why should [I] wait to enjoy it?"). The Niece and I have an afternoon of football and food in mind for our holiday celebration. I'm hoping to get back to Lexington sometime over the Christmas-New Year's week and see as many of my people there as I can. And that's it. And it sounds so darn good.
